ii! 1 - I a it xii 4 Foreword ANY years aqo when the American Indians roamed over the hills and plains of our great country they left records of their lives in many ways. The pic- tures they drew on their tepees and the implements and tools they used to work and fight with tell us much about their lives. ln this modern era we too are recording our lives in ways simi- lar to the American Indian. We write books and draw pictures and thousands and thousands of years from now our descendants will be able to tell much about us by these records. The high school annual is one of the most treasured of every stu- dents possessions. Years go past and by thumbing through the pages they can recall many haDDY and joyous occasions spent during their high school days. No matter how old it gets each and every student owning a high school annual gets renewed pleas- ure lo o k i n g back through the pages of his book, Many years hence our decen- dants will also look through the pages of these books and they will be able to tell much about what the high school people of our gen- eration were like just as we can tell of past ages. The l945 Spartan has been planned to give a glimpse of Sum- ner High students in their various activities and it is the sincere hope of the members of the staff that in the future this book will also be one of the most treasured reminders of our days spent at our

Dedication E DEDICATE cur 1945 Spartan to Vic- tory. This being the fourth year we have gone to press under the stress of war, we are looking forward to victory and years of peace to follow. A true victory will not mean rust the de- feat of an enemy in battle, it will be the securing of a peace that will provide post- war world unity. This will be a most significant victory. lts importance for the future does not mean the destruction of human life and property: it means the changes wrought by sacrifice and the willingness of the United Nations to fight and die for these principles will eventually make men free. lt is a challenging thought that while our military forces are winning the imme- dirrto victory, our educational fcrces must be increasingly concerned to help win the ultimate victory. Vifhile the adults of today are winning the war, the adults of tomor- st learn to win the peace. row mu Since the task of rebuilding the world will be neither an easy one nor a short process, much of the problem will fall upon the young men and women of our genera- tion. As preparation for that responsibility, our years in High School can be immensely fruitful. We have not sufficiently realized that knowleige is only a means to an end, 'Wrtlrout a working vision of individual and nationzl responsibilities for the creation of tr truly crvrlifed world, we shall never bc able to attain our goal. Our national state of mind in the postwar ora will have a great deal of bearing upon the peace. How about a revival of the old adventurous American Spirit - the s p 1 r it which .rnimated innumerable pioneers and builders who created this government of the people, by the people, for the people, and who fought for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? live cannot thrive on 'he glory of our ance stors, but must live up to that glory-- go forward with self-con' frdence and pride in our own country, our own capacities and potentialiiies. We must sffp vautifgusly for we wanna' be strong physically if we collapse morally. We must not sacrriice grrrtrfiple for virktryry. ff ' us st t f' ff rt tip ,rlrl tr trru fxtrrrrft fl Dfrt1'vr'rcyflr:1t will be worthy of the interest of ffrltering g v- tfrnrn--nts. l.-1 urs take at-tion upon thc vrsz' ri l'rrtyt,rid victory.
